[Solved]Need help with a locked device

Hello! My device wifi just stopped turning on, and I did reset networking config but that didn't solve the problem, so I reset It. Now I have a device with no networking at all, and now it's also locked because I didn't sign out of my xiaomi account. I wanted to unlock the device and try another rom to see if that solves the problem, but I can't do that since I need first activate the device.
About the device:
-No root
-No developer options enabled
-Wifi doesn't toggle on
-Sim card is not recognized (already tried other ones, in both slots)
-Xiaomi assistance doesn't want to help me at all (neither the seller btw)
I hope you guys could help me. I'm very frustrated because it's a recent new phone :c

Are you able to unlock phone. If yes then you can test the things through QC test by typing this in dialer *#*#64663#*#*

I cant unlock it :c
But before messing with this lock, I tried to test wifi but without success...
As mentioned in a thread, an update could solve the problem, but I need to unlock the bootloader

Have you thought about EDL or Test point method. I think it is the last option

By EDL, I mean a kind of brute force to flash ROM. Used mainly when hard bricked. As you don't have unlock permission you have to use this method to flash Factory ROM. You can find Instructions in YouTube videos for "Redmi Note 6 pro EDL flashing guide Test point method"

I've just bought a smartphone repair toolkit from Amazon, and I'm waiting for it because I don't have the needed tools to open the device and do the EDL by myself. It might get here around next week, and when done, I say if that worked.

I tried the EDL test points, but the device doesn't vibrate and turn on :c
EDIT: I was doing it wrong, I need firstly to connect the pins, and juts then connect the USB cable. I was doing the opposite hahaha
Windows Device Manager does recognize it, but Mi Flash still doesn't recognize the device on refresh, giving the error "length cannot be less than zero". I'm doing some search.

Actually, after flashing a new rom, after 12h the wifi issue returned, and I used this tool: https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/
I used the option to flash an official rom, followed the app steps, and after the download finished, it couldn't be installed because of a bug So I repeated the steps, but instead of downloading again, i used the already downloaded rom (it is in the app installation folder). Then, success! Has been 2 days with no problem
About the auth itself, even by using EDL, after the reboot, I was prompted again by the mi account... So if you don't have the account, I'm afraid I can't help you... :c
I used this tutorial for the EDL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WfOprRVQww

try to update.
Otherwise you can flash it directly with miflash but you have to unlock the bootloadeer.

the problem is that I can not install it, both because manually from the phone it says that it cannot verify the rom I downloaded via zip, and through my flash, because to unlock it the bootload requires 160 hours. Now I have another 6 days before I can return, so I don't know what to do

In this case, either wait the time to unlock or return the phone to the seller.
you can try:create a folder at the root,rename it to "downloaded_rom" and put the zip inside. try update.

I have a question, could it be that the reboots were due to the deactivation of miui optimizations? Because after activating them, there seems to be no more random reboots

It is possible, but why write "upgraded to miui 12, the phone just reboots randomly" because this parameter does not turn off by itself.

Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10F MT:60077 Flash problem

Hello. My problem with this tablet started after updating android to 5.0 from 4.4 kitkat. I kept popping up problems with google services. I decided to hard reset but it didn't help. Then I uploaded the new firmware via flash tool. Unfortunately, the same problem continues. I think the problem is that this Lenovo is MT: 60077 and everywhere available softs and TWRP are up to MT: 8127. Someone will tell me how to bring this tablet to life? Recorvery mode doesn't help either.
1. The picture shows the popup that won't disappear:

2. The photo in Chinese shows the hard reset option:

I will say this. I don't know exactly what it was like. What she was telling me was the original system was 4.4 KitKat but Lenovo has imposed the 5.0 Lollipop update. I also know that this tablet was on the site because the charging socket was replaced. However, it seems to me that someone flashed this tablet. In my opinion, someone threw the software for the MT8127 version instead of the MT60077. That is why such a problem arose. I myself cannot find the software for MT60077 because I think it would solve the problem.

ohh i didn't notice the 1st screenshot its actually the first setup process that ask for OS language ... this is just my guess but you provably "corrupted" your build.prop now applications are thinking they are running on Android 4.4 but while actually running Android 5.0 try restoring your build.prop

i experience that i use build.prop editor that i downloaded from playstore and change my Android version to 5 and every application keep stop working my solution is to flash full stock rom again

Question Wifi and Hotspot Not Turning On

Hi,
I bought my phone three months back. Ever since the last update Version Name - WW18.0840.2106.86 my wifi and Hotspot just won't turn on.
I have been through the asus forum and seems like alot of customers are facing this issue.
One of them confirmed that even after replacing motherboard the issue persists. Others are facing air trigger issues after replacing the motherboard.
Just wanted to know if anyone here is facing similar issues.
DO let me know your thoughts on should I visit service center and Get my motherboard replaced or should I wait for the next update. My current Version Name - WW18.0840.2107.151
PS: My phone is not rooted
Thanks

I have not had these issues personally. I just updated to .151 last night though, so we shall see.
The general consensus is that the mobo needs to be replaced, and will most likely not get fixed with a software update. If it was correctable, a major issue like this would have forced a new FW update after .86 caused your initial problem.
You could always try flashing raw FW if you really want to tinker, but I doubt it will help. I would hit the service center and get the mobo replaced.
Good luck!

OTA files are the standard updates. There are a lot of how to guides that answer most of these questions, which may be why nobody is jumping up to walk you through it.
I wouldn't trust someone installing OTA files in TWRP because the system handles them already without any software. That is just asking for problems.

forum.xda-developers.com
The link I posted earlier is included in that. Not sure why nothing showed up for it, but maybe you'll have better luck getting to it that way.
There's always a possibility it is a hardware issue. A lot of them have been SIM, Wifi, and Bluetooth issues. If you suspect a kernel issue, make sure you are following the instructions to restore. If you only flashed a boot, you didn't follow the instructions.

Question How do I update my rooted Pixel 7 Pro?

Hi Guys, so recently bought my P7P, a week ago.
Its on january update, rooted with magisk and all that.
I was wondering, whats the correct procedure to update it when the february update will pop (still didnt get it)
can I just accept the OTA and then flash again the init_boot? Or do I have to flash original init_boot, update, and flash patched init_boot? will that lose all my modules and configurations?
I've tried searching info about this, but i'm finding different methods and I dont know which one is the correct one.
Thanks!!

Why not Pixel Flasher? Takes care of everything...

Go to https://developers.google.com/android/ then click "flash" for the update you want. Make sure you unclick the option "wipe phone". SJSU use chrome browser.

No you don't need anything, however you will need to re root. But it won't close bootloader so you won't need to wipe.

Make sure you select the option to not lock bootloader. Also this is directly from Google that's why I use it over pixel flasher

Use pixel flasher and you can maintain root at the same time as you update

Instead of going through everyone's answer, just click the link and read the thread thoroughly
